In the QPC team, we explore the quantum phenomena in nano-scale electronic circuits, from correlated electronic matter to quantum transport down to the most elementary level of the single conduction channel.

Experiments are performed at extremely low temperatures, a few thousandths of Kelvin above absolute zero, with ultra-sensitive measurement setups, on devices made in the lab's outstanding nanofabrication facilities.

Observation of the 'charge' Kondo effect. The Kondo effect, a test-bed for the strongly-correlated electron physics, also applies to the macroscopic quantum degrees of freedom of electrical circuits (Nature, 2015).

Measurement of the quantum limit of heat flow across a single electronic channel. Heating drives the transition toward a classical description, but heat transport itself is ruled by quantum mechanics (Science, 2013).

Quantum back-action of dissipative circuits on the conductance of an arbitrary electronic channel, a phenomenon with quantum engineering implications for the future of nanoelectronic (Nature Physics, 2011).
